What happens if your uterus ruptures during Normal delivery? | Dr. Nandyala R Padmapriya

"Uterus rupture can happen during normal delivery. There are two situations where it can happen one is if there is a scar on the uterus like if there was a previous cesarean delivery where there was a hysterotomy that is a second-trimester abortion by opening the abdomen or if there was myomectomy. Myomectomy means the removal of fibroids and suturing of the fall of the uterus. The other situation where uterine rupture can happen is in obstructed labor which is very uncommon these days but in rural settings, it's still there where patients stay at home for days together in labor and go to the hospital at the last minute. So it can be prevented. We have to select the cases where we're giving vaginal birth after a cesarean or on a scarred uterus where there was a myomectomy or a hysterectomy done. We need to select the patients carefully we have certain indications where we select the patients like if the cesarean was done for a non-recurrent indication like malpresentation"
